Music

Hello, since this is my first blog, ever, allow me to introduce myself. E L L is what I will go by. I won't tell you much about myself now because as I write you will see me. Today, right now I have decided to write about music. Wow what an underestimated powerful word. Music is so complex. When I listen to music... and when i say music I mean really art filled full of life music.... I feel as though I am listening to my past, my present, and my future. Memories flood my brain, and multiple feelings overwhelm me. Most of the time I have a feeling of security and warmth, sometimes sadness but it's also mixed with happiness. Either way i get super excited when this happens. Now it doesn't happen with all music, but such as the music I am listening to now, Norah Jones- The Fall, (specific song, Chasing Pirates) it hits my soul and makes it tremble. Oh, it's like a Godly orgasm to my inner being. Now you may think this is so terribly crazy of me to feel this strongly about music.... but honestly you either have the gift or you don't. If you don't, then may God bless your soul. If you have this gift of love towards certain music, rejoice! The thing I love most about music is it takes me to another place. It takes me to the city that never sleeps walking along the side of the road while lights flash by, wind slightly blowing my hair. It takes me to a meadow of green grass and tall flowers. A meadow with a soft floor for me to lay on beside my love who watches me as I watch the birds fly over my view of the sun. It takes me to a park bench counting the stars as I smell the crisp cold moonlight. The music may take me to more than just one scene but on a journey. One through the mountains giving me an out of body experience when I reach the top. Or a flight right above the ocean with nothing in view but water and sky full of color from the sunset. Not only this but it may take me back in time as well. But I believe we have all been able to experience that wonderful one. Music inspires me, that is why I love it so much. It enlightens me, and I realize these musicians, these artists are sooo brilliant sooo talented. (certain ones) Let's think about this now, what would a movie be without music? Terrible... What would we listen to in the car, just useless noise? Boring... Everyone in the world would be a little less happy. Life would be half empty... inexpressible. well I sit here as I write listening to music because it is a part of my soul, it makes me happy, it inspires me. Musically EnLightened with Love, E L L
